Universidad de Montevideo

The Universidad de Montevideo is a highly-respected private university located on a quiet street in the Parque Batlle neighborhood. It's been my wife's academic home in Uruguay and she's been very happy there. Like the other private universities in Uruguay it's relatively new, since for decades only the Universidad de la Republica could grant degrees.

School's out

Today was the last day of school before Winter vacation in Uruguay. The kids can now enjoy two weeks free of classes and homework. (University students, on the other hand are preparing for their exams.)

Universidad de la Republica

Education is part of Uruguay's constitution and the country has a long history of public education. The Universidad de la Republica is the country's largest university with over 70,000 students. It doesn't have the large campus typical of US universities but rather individual facultades throughout the city. As a public institution, tuition is free.

School days

Kids in Uruguay's public schools wear the old-fashioned white tunica with a big black bow. Private school kids wear uniforms,too, either dress uniforms (sweaters and ties in the school colors) or gym uniforms (sweats in the school colors).

The kids shown here are on a field trip to see the photo display by Frances Yann Arthus-Bertrand on Montevideo's Rambla.
